It’s basically a pencil that you can use to adorn your face
with freckles, should you not be blessed with them naturally.

The long wearing, waxy formula contains two complimentary
shades of brown swirled together, allowing you to create a perfect face full of
freckles.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for trying out new beauty
concepts and products and I could be totally out of the loop and wrong about
this, but do people really draw freckles on their faces for any occasions other
than fancy dress?

AND if they do, do they really need a pencil specifically designed
for this purpose? What’s wrong with a trusty eyeliner?

What do you think?

The Freckle pencil is available now at selected TOPSHOP and
John Lewis stores nationwide.

There’s
nothing better than stumbling across a new beauty brand. The excitement I feel
at trying new brands and products for a first time is addictive and when I find
one whose purpose is so much more than just creating beautiful products, I’m a very happy lady!

Not content
with creating luxurious and beautiful bath and body products, they aim to
promote health and happiness with their products while also informing a wider
public about the plight of the honeybee.

They donate 3% of their profits to bee
conservation and research, and aim to encourage a deeper understanding of our
connectedness with bees and their plight.

They have a super cute ‘beethos’, which outlines their
values and plight as follows;

Protect our bees & their habitats - without them
our very existence is threatened.

Consume with care - create quality
products that do not cost the earth - literally!

Champion biodiversity - to
encourage a diverse habitat for bees and other pollinators.

Sustainability top to bottom - to
ensure ingredients are sustainably sourced and to keep packaging low
impact.

Rediscover ancient wisdom – to learn
about bees and the healing products from nature’s own larder.

Think interconnectedness – the health
of our bees is a barometer of the health of our planet.

Posiebalm is
my favourite with its wearable, poppy pink sheen which I think will suit almost
every skin tone.

Now, I know that
£14.50 might sound like a lot of money to spend on a lip balm, but seriously, just
look at how pretty they are!

The fact that
they match the pre existing tints gets a big thumbs up from me too. You can use
the two together to ensure your lips look fab all day long and I love the fact
you can wear the tint on your cheeks and have a matching lip!
